Re:

1 shot on goal in the first half. Just rubbish. At least we didn't contrive to lose, but Oxford were playing for the draw from 10 minutes in. Course they weren't! Team put a real shift in but a real lack of creatioon in midfield until Deering came on. In isolation a decent result, in context pretty...

W.B. Yeats of course. You reminded me of my lazy schooldays there. He was a boring poet. Mind you I thought everything was boring back in the day.

Re:

Realistically, I think we will now need to go unbeaten for the rest of the season, and more than 3 draws in that would make life very difficult for us. Baloney! So Stevenage are going to be unbeaten for the rest of the season are they? 11 games left, they have Crawley (A), AFC(A), Luton (H), Us (H)...

Re:

United huffed and puffed but were bereft of quality especially upfront. Nathan Abbey was not called into action after we scored with Green's neat finish. I'm not sure John Grant has got the stomach for this either. Have we fucked up again ? Negative stuff, we are missing leading scorer and midfield...

Re: 12th Man rethink?

I think the point that Dan was raising is that by trying, did we make it too easy for Wilder to be tempted into unnecessary tinkering which has unsettled the side. Too early to conclude anything yet, Chalmers/Grant/Tonkin could yet win us the league. The trouble with being excessively positive, is ...

Re: 12th Man rethink?

I wonder if the 12th Man initiative has actually backfired a little. I can't help but think that it's actually allowed Chris Wilder too much license to tinker. The expression &quotkid in a candy shop&quot springs to mind with his scattergun signings this season. I can't help but think we'd ...
